  1. Re:Human Resource Management Perspective on The Bosses Do Everything Better (or So They Think) · · Score: 1

    When I remotely monitor their computer screens, for example, I often see 1 or 2 minutes at a time when code is not being typed into the terminal.

    Unlike you, as evidenced by this post, programmers actually have to think before they type.

    Secondly as for the idea that we will someday no longer need programming languages and to simply state what we want and it magically write compile debug and give you exactly what you want not likely.

    Not likely? There's a whole FAMILY of languages that do just what you describe. Ever coded in SQL? LISP? Scheme? It's called declarative programming, with the jist being you tell the computer what you want it to do, not how to do it.

    On the other hand, what's the difference between giving a human an order in English and ordering a computer in a programming language, besides that a computer can be trusted to obey the best it can?

    Maybe a /.er can explain what's wrong with my theory on this... If space is a vacuum, then isnt mass just trying to spread itself out into space? Like how a water bottle caves in on itself to fill the void of someone sucking the air out of it? Why do we need Dark energy to explain it?

    It could be comparable to Chuck Norris's...you know...

  5. Re:Every legislator that voted for it should resig on Injunction Blocks "Don't Be Friends" Law For Missouri Teachers · · Score: 1

    News flash: most of your child's public school teachers are not the creepy guy in the park. In fact, we owe our teachers a lot for taking our kids in for 6 or 7 hours a day.

    I've had a theory for a while that people who start sentences with "dude" are deviant in some way. Thanks for confirming!

    The dude abides

    I don't know about cc sabathia being god. Brian Wilson looks more the part
